Farro gives this soup enough bite and heft to make a bowl a satisfying lunch. And no dish in the Bloomberg house gets to the table without the addition of iron rich, dark leafy greens. Not since kale became king. Chard is an option for kale haters.

So much recent talk of bone broth sends me to the New York Times archives.In not much time, the whole apartment starts to smell like soup. I wonder if my son Teddy will grow up with a memory of winter goes with soup. Serves 8.
